I sure as hell don't. I don't see how he could possibly have a better hand and fold it, and there's no way he's calling with a worse one more than 50% of the time.

I'm new to 6max so I'm probably missing value bets.

However, my thought on this is that when you have something very marginal like 4th pair here, you want to value bet when villain is capable of calling with ace high. With the ace on board, it's very unlikely villain will call with no pair. So I check.

I check the river.

Does SB call with random crap? If yes, value bet. If no, check behind.

[mikeyKay]

with a read, maybe. with no read, i check it.

If by value bet you mean "throwing away money," then absolutely.

I think I check the river too!
